About
I'm Kimberly Chan, a Seattle-based artist creating contemporary floral work focused on color, form, and spatial presence.
-
Before becoming an artist, I followed a more conventional path
Studying business, building a career in tech, and making decisions that felt practical and expected.
I grew up in Hong Kong, where flowers were part of everyday life. Near my home was a wholesale flower market, and as a child I would pick out individual stems to bring home and arrange into small bouquets. That early familiarity stayed with me, even as I moved away from anything creative.
-
It wasn’t until much later...
After building a career and starting a family, I returned to making art. What began as a quiet exploration gradually became a more focused practice. Floral forms felt like a natural place to begin, as a subject with structure, variation, and a visual language that translates across cultures and environments.

My work explores how color and form shape the experience of a space.
Drawing from both Hong Kong’s dense floral markets and the quieter rhythms of the Pacific Northwest, I create compositions that balance structure with softness: pieces that can hold presence without overwhelming. Each work is designed to live within an environment: to anchor, to soften, or to create continuity across a space.
